A child does not have to ride with you.
You'll go the the ride attendent that stands at the ride line entrance and ask for a child swap pass.
Then one of you gets in line for the ride, while the other takes the child swap pass and your little girl, and you go get icecream or something fun while waiting.
When the first rider is done, they'll come out and stay with the little one, and now the one with the child swap pass goes up to the line attendent, hands them the child swap pass, and then gets in the fastpass line.
If you're doing child swap for a ride without fastpass, tell the ride attendent at the line entrance, they will hand you a child swap pass, then you all stand in line together until you get to the front. Then one of you rides while the others waits with your daughter in a safe location at the loading area. Then when the first rider is done they take the little one and proceed out the exit, and the next rider gets right on, rides, and then out the exit.
I hope I explained that without confusing you.
It's quite simple and GREAT for those of us with little ones!
